Data Sheet

Product Description

3M™ Tape AL-50BT consists of an aluminum foil

backing and a unique electrically conductive

pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive.

• Soft aluminum foil backing

• Conductive acrylic adhesive

• Supplied on a removable liner for easy

handling and die cutting

Applications

3M Tape AL-50BT is typically used for

applications requiring excellent electrical

conductivity from the application substrate through

the adhesive to the foil backing. Common uses

include grounding and EMI shielding in equipment,

components, shielded rooms, etc.

Shielding Effectiveness

Shielding effectiveness depends on conductivity,

permeability, thickness of metalization, adhesive

strength, degree of contact, smoothness of

application surface, strength and frequency of EMI

signal, etc. However, using standard tests and

fixtures, it is possible to determine a value for the

attenuation. (See chart below.)
